YESTERDAY was another gloomy day for
the Grand Army at st. Louis. In spite OF
the disagreeable weather, thousands OF
veterans fell in line for the parade. Cen
erals SHERMAN and FAIRCHmD appeared
in line and were received with cheers.
Many veterans were not in the parade, be-
Heying il to be too wet to march. Con
siderable enthusiasm was manifest, though
the dowa pouring rains and heavy clouds
greatly dampened the ardor of the crowds
that assembled to watch the procession.

California Will Soon Supply the Country
With Oranges and Lannon's

NEW YORK, August 20th.-ISpecial. 1.-The
MAJ ana Express says: The exports at the
Foreign Fruit Exchange do not agree with the
cabled opinion of the Italian Minister of Com
merce that California can supply the American
market with oranges and lemons throughout
the year. They insist that California Is only
able to supply the country west of the Rockies
small portion of the oranges consumed, and
very few lemons. The statistics of the Ex-
change show that Boston has received from
Medlterranean ports since January 1887 . 9O4 :
l66 boxes OF oranges and 26l ,796 boxes of lem
ons; Philadelphia 235, ,635 boxes of oranges and
IA, 90 boxes of lemons; Baltimore Ia 4503 boxes
OF oranges and 14.0S0 boxes of lemons: New
orleans 90, ,si6 boxes of oranges and 179 ODD boxes
OF lemons; New York City LOSS 2g6 boxes of
oranges and 800, SIS boxes of lemons.
A well-informed fruit dealer said to your re-
porter that in two years this country would not
only produce all the oranges and lemons that II
could consume, bnt would have a surplus for
export. California Will produce 900 900 Iboxes
OIL oranges this year. and Is increasing her num-
ber OF trees every year. Florida will produce
over l,O00,CO0 boxes this year, and in Louisiana,
Wnere ,se lne crop, was failure last year, there
Will be $4,000 barrels this year. and in three
years from now nearly double that quantity,
Ihe consumption of oranges in this country
is now less than 100000 boxes q year and if
VIII not increase more than 1900 600 or 5000 010
IN the next flye years. BY that time this
country Will produce at least 10000 600 boxes
a year. Ihe gnetleman who supplied the Italian
government with its information in regard 10
tne orange and lemon production of this country
salq to-day that he had advised the Italians to
seek other markets for these fruits as it is only
a question OF a few years when this market will
be closed TO them by the excess of the home
production.

We HAVE NOTHING To CONCEAL
That relates to the business of the Central Pa

them and are of no public Importance, but
which they wish to extract through The
Commission. am quite sure the members of
the Commission are Intelligent enough to per
ceive such influences and to discriminate
when an effort is made to force them on
the public. We have never used any money
to bribe officers, and there is no evidence
nor any circumstance that can fasten such a
stigma upon us. What Senator Stanford has
done am quite sure was the wisest thing to do
under the circumstances"

How Two Brothers Worked a Series of
Neat Forgeries

WASHINGTON, August 21st.-Harry T. Cook,
aged about 2l years, and Charles r. Cook his
brother soDe years younger, were arrested here
this afternoon, the elder for forgery and the
younger for collusion. Their plan of operation
sight which they might easily have avoided
they could have gone on indefinitely in their
course: Harry was discount clerk in the Colum-
bia National Bank, where he had ac-
accounts of the banks patrons,
1t has been shown by investigation that he
some time ago disguised himself, and under an
bank. He then forged the name of one of the
Columbia Banks depositors to a series of checks
payable to himself, under his assumed name,
and got his younger brother to deposit them to
his account. After they had been returned to
the Columbia Bank for collection, and after
they had been paid in, the books were secured
by torsery and destroyed. The eulprits are sons
OF the late Professor Cook, ofthis city.
